The Demand for Factories--On Paper.

Much has been said Of late about the neccs
sity for the establishment Of factories of all
sorts, from fruitcanning TO cotton mills and
National banks. A friend recently suggested
that there is greater need, and one within
the range :of possibility, and that is, prosper
ous farms. If we could have the same energy
infused into the farms, and the same amount
OF constant and systematic intelligent labor
applied to our farms that Is required to make
the factories, cotton mills, and banks O sue
cess, the country would prosper beyond any
reasonable expectation. What good will en-
ure to you, my friend, II capitalists building
magnificent factories, II ye stand here idle all
the day. How ia 1t with you? Are you ap-
plying all your energies to make the farm q
success? We need successful farmers. They
are not TO be found among the lieners, who
spend one day In the week with their teams
going to town to buy the corn, atdouble price,
which they should raise at home. 1t is sell
dom found among that class of men who go
to the mule dealers and buy Western mules,
instead OF raising them. The prosperous man
Is seldom found without pasture and some
good cattle. The trouble about the all-cotton
plan, is, that people begin to work on the crop
In March and finish early in November-with
q months rest after laying by. We need
profitable employment for the whole year.
We need pastures in which our stock may
Craze.

The G.. G.. & N. Railroad.
Chester Bulletin.

Gen. Hoke was in our town for a short
time last Saturday. He gave an exceed
ipgly gratifying account OF the present
prospects of the proposed road of which
he is the head. He stated that the
WrightBrothers had taken the contract for
grading the roadbed from Chester to the
North Carolina line. He further stated
that these brothers began on last Satur-
day the erection Of shanties for their en-
ployees, and would begin this week the
good work of grading. They will first
grade the line from the North Carolina
line to the Catawba river, and then from
the river to this place. They expect tc
complete their contract by November 1st.
General Hoke also stated that the con-
tract for the grading of the roadbed from
the North Carolina line to Monroe had
been given out, though the papers were
not formally signed. The terms had
been agreed upon and the contractors
would begin work without delay. The
President expects to complete the road
bed, lay the iron, equip the road and
have it in running order from Chester to
Monroe by the 1st of next January.
Though the expression has been used be-
fore in numberless connections, he is
without any manner of doubt tho right
man in the right place.
Chester greatly rejoices in the certainty
Of the construction of the G.. G.. & n.
Railroad. She will he incalculably hcnc-
fitted by the increase of her railroad
facilities. The hopes Of our town are
also centered on the construction of the
Chester and Camden line. AS that road
would be feeder to the South Carolina
Railroad and q benefit to Charleston, will
not the people of that grand old city give
us helping hand9 In helping us they
will help themselves.

The News and Courier.

The issue OF the NeWs and Courier on the
next day after the unveiilng Of the Calhoun
monument was the finest specimen OF news
paper enterprise that we have seen. The
speech of Mr. Lamar was given at length, to-
gether with full description Of the doings of
the day, without encroaching on the usual
space Of the paper. The paper for that day
was twelve pages. Besides the editorial
comment, and telegraphic news, the country
correspondence was uncommonly full. In
addition to the usual variety OF other mat.
ters, the decision Of the Supreme Court in the
Rush cash appeared. The Neus and Courier has
issued many numbers OF the paper which
have been narvels of enterprise but for ty-
pographic skill and newspaper enterprise,
none have surpassed the Calhoun edition.

The Judicial MOnstrOsity.

We CODY into these columns the judicial
monstrosity emanating from a divided Su-
preme Court in the Rush case, which decision
violates every sense Of justice, overrides the
Constitution, and puts IN unsupportable con-
struction on the meaning of an Act of the
Legislature.
The people of the State must sock in some
way to be relieved Of the grievous wrong
which has been inflicted at the fountain head
to which we have heretofore looked for fair
and impartial judgment. If these learned
Judges who assume to set their own opinions
against ninety per cent Of the Bar and SOL
i'd Circuit Bench cannot be induced to recon-
slider their unjust decision in the Rush case,
then the Legislature should come to the relief
OF the people.
Hon. Edward McCrady, Jr. Of Charleston,
in the Ne,ps and Courier Of Yesterday. suggests
as a remedy that the number OF Supreme
Judges be Increased, and, among other things,
says:
"Judge Hudson hears this case on the circuit
and decides It in one way. The case goes to
the Supreme Court. and there Judge McGow'
an concurs with Judge Hudson, but Judges
Simpson and McIver differ with Judges Nc
Gowan and Hudson; and therenpon we; : have
decision decides the case in hand, but 1T cam
not settle the law. because on Its face 1T shows
an even division OF legal opinion. For, take
1t, It is no dsparagement Of any member OF
the Supreme Bench to say that Judge Hudson
as a lawyer Is not his Inferior"
This is putting the case strongly. Besides
this, the invitation to make comparison be-
tween the ability OF MCGOWAN and Hudson,
and Simpson and McIver is as significant rs
1t Is gentle.
The Abbeville Bar is almost unit in the
belief that the judgment OF the Court In the
Rush case Is erroneous.
II our Supreme Judges continue to override
the law in reference to granting bail to muir
derers Of every degree, and then add to their
past usefulness in destroying public conf
dence, q decision In reference to property
which is violative Of Law, and ruinous to the
business interests Of the country. the people
are in lamentable fix. When the people
loss confidence in the Courts, who can foretell
the end?

Death of OrytlIe T. Calhoun.

Orvllle T. Calhoun. Esq, member OF the Ao
beville Bar, died In Columbia, Monday morn
ing, May 2, 1887. aged 80 years.
Mr.. Calhoun had been In Charleston attend
ing the unveiling of the monument erected to
the memory Of his distinguished klnsman
John C. Calhoun, and had returned as far as
Columbia on his way home when he stoppeu
at the capital and there died.
The news OF his death was shock to the
people OF this community. and the event cast
a shadow over q large circle OF friends and as
sociates, who were strongly attached 10 hlii''
and by whom he was held In high esteem;
Mr.. Calhoun was distinguished for his socia'
Qualities as we'll as for his faithfulness TO
friends and fidelity to any cause which lie
espoused. He was Of a positive tharacter, and
his position on all important subjects were
never concealed from friend or foe. He was
generous and brave, and while always de.
manding due Difference from others, he neve'
failed to accord that courtesy and affability,
which mark ed him as the kindly gentleman
in de pertinent as we'll as In principle.
Mr.. Calhouns death is a peculiarly sad one.
He leaves young wife to whom he was de-
voted with all his mind and heart, and an
aged mother Is grief.stricken indeed.
But little more than year ago, he was hap
pily married to Miss Sallie Gilbert OF this
county, who is so well known to our people
Yesterday she followed a devoted husband to
the grave.
Mr.. Calhoun always took an active part In
county politics, and always took decided
stand on all questions before the people. For
q long time he was treasurer Of the Abbeville
Democratic club, and several times he served
the people acceptably in State Nominating
Conventions.
He was member of the Abbeville Literary
Society, and Of the Masonic Fraternity, OF
which organizations he was jealous and
useful member, always contributing his full
share to their seccess and to the pleasure OF
his associates.

to meet the corpse, while the Masons as

depot before the arrival OF the train. The
body was taken to the late residence OF the
deceased, on Main Street. Kind friends
watched over him. and yesterday at O'Clock,
Mr.. Hanckel conducted the funeral services,
and he was buried in the Episcopal Cemetary.

How Low Salaries and Long Term.
Work i'm AbbeYiIIe.

In RESPONSE to letter of inquiry from tne
Observer, the School Commissioner oi annc- ,e
Vile County gives some very interesting lacls.
It should be remembered that salaries paid 10
teachers from the public Jund in that county
are 800, sl5 and $40 per month for the reSpec
tive grades. This, of course. does not prevent
the patrons from paying as much more rs
they please; but 1t secures pubic school term
of six months or more.
The Observers inquiries were as 10 whetiler
there was any difficulty In securing conirc-
tent teachers for the schools; whether lhe
plan works as well rs with high salaries anu
as to the length Of the term. We quote rom
the reply:
pleased 10 say that l.have no trouble IN pro
curing competent teachers. The salary Is
most commonly supplemented readily. =,
.,3nd. AS to whether the plan works as wen
as with high salaries: l am constrained to
think that there Is no doubt OF II, from tnS
fact that schools are open longer term ana
the pupils received more hencilt ana tiie p,'1
irons invariably express themselves pleased
and satisfied. ,,or;
ence heretofore has been that the schoois VIII
run from six to seven and eight months &C
cording to the number Of schools anu grades
of teachers in the different school distrlcts.
"The plan of low salaries, considering tis
Insufficiency of the Public School tuna hoi anu
the Increasing or lengthening OF tne scnOoI
term, has been my policy in my former terms s
of office: and am fully convinced thaC ~ az ~
the only one we can adopt In order 10 penen ~,
~
ncation under the present circumstances
NetD6e77y Observer.
The popularity Of School Commissioner
Cowan's administration is isabundantly proven
at his reelection, when the questions OF sala-
ries and school terms were prominent before
the people. If the Observer will pursue this
subject it will secure longer school terms
without impairing the usefulness OF any
teacher. Every boy and girl In Newberry
county will receive benefit from the Observers
work. The agitation Of the question in Alb
beville has brought the pay OF teacher down
from $40 to $40 month, and has doubled the
school term. The pay Of teachers Will yet be
reduced in Abbevile county to sum suiii'
cient to keep the schools open for ten months
The people will demand it, and they can have

Duck Hill's boom Is growing very
gradually but much more surely than
at first, as the following dispatch of
the 2lst ult., to the N. q. Picayune
would indicate: The Mississippi
Mineral and Mining Company, of
this place, held a full and highly
satisfactory meeting to-day. A large
addition of stock was subscribed and
about 10000 acres of ore lands CONT
guous to the place were purchased by
the company. Arrangements are also
completed to start q friedrich and
tiling enterprise. The parties engag-
ed in these enterprises are cool, prac.
teal business men, who have entire
faith in the future of.this section and
are determined to settle il. There
never has been 80 much confidence
as was manifested to-day.

DIED.

In Grenada, on Monday last, at 0
p. m., of whooping cough, little Lizzie
Mclean, only daughter of VIM. c.
and Sue G. Mclean, aged II year
and nine mOnths. TO the bereaved
parents we extend our heartfelt SYM
pathy in this trying hour of sore
affection. We fully realize how
utterly vain and futile is any human
effort to solace and comfort their
stricken hearts, crushed and bleeding
from the blow that took away from
mo tai sight forever their cherished
baby girl. TO the Lord who gave
her, to the Lord who took her away
and to Him alone must they turn for
recoucilement to their loss. The
great God of all the universe has, in
His infinite wisdom, seen fit to trans
plant this little flower from the sor-
rowful wales of earth to the bright
and happy fields of the great beyond,
where she will bloom forever in Il
garden of joy.

WOMEN's NORTH M~IssISsIPfl MIS-.

GVNI ithF.NSE"
The Woman's Missionary Society
of the North Mississippi Conference,
convened in this city June Both, SIP.
III. The Introductory religious SER
vices, of the first session, were con-
Quoted by the Rev. DIR. Sullivan
assisted by the Rev. J. ID. Cameron.
The society was called to order 10y
the president, Mrs. q. N. Terry. The
secretary, Mrs. w. H. Wall, at once
assumed her place, and the society
was announced as ready for business.
Mrs. +. G. Payne, of Grenada, was
introduced and read a beautiful and
quite appropriate welcome; to which
Miss Mollie Duval, of Sardis, respon-
ded in a most feliticious manner.
She reviewed in somewhat the work
done by the church in its missionary
movements, and stated we'll some of
the difficulties to be overcome. She
referred with womanly tenderness to
the beautiful, cultivated and conse-
Grated young missionary, Miss Dora
Rankin, of their society, who had
died at her post of duty in China
during the year. At the close of this
enjoyable responsive address, Mrs.
c. N. Terry, the president, who has
occupied this place of honor and
responsibility for three years, was
introduced, and read her annual adj
dress, which was indeed an admirable
paper and well read. Misses Gordan
and Lipscomb, who are to be sent by
this society as missionaries to China
in October next, are in attendance
and will speak to the young ladies of
Grenada at some hour during the
session Of the society. Many distin-
guished Christian workers among
the women of North Mississippi are
present. We go to press too early this
week to give the noble, Christian
women larger notice, but in the name
of Grenada as well as ourselves we
extend to them a hearty welcome.
